5.3.5 Installation below waterline
If the generator can not be attached at least 600mm
over the waterline, a vent valve must be installed into
the raw water line. With location beside the "midship
line" a possible heeling must be considered! The water
hose for the external vent valve at the back of the
sound cover splits on the pressure side of the pump
and at both ends in each case extended with a connec-
ting nipple by a hose end. Both hose ends must be led
out outside of the sound cover to one point, if possible
600mm over the waterlinee in the midship line. The
valve is connected at the highest place with the two
hose ends. If the valve is blocked, the cooling water
pipe cannot be ventilated after the stop of the genera-
tor, the water column is not interrupted and the water
can penetrate into the combustion chamber of the
engine. This leads to the destruction of the engine!
